my S2 is now over 9 years old and has started developing a number of annoying rattles etv...plus underside is v grubby and im sure it would benefit from some fettling

Does anyone know of someone who'd take the car and effectively strip it and put it back together with new screws and cleaned up etc. rather like Overhaulin' i guess! in fact even better im sure a lot of bits and pieces have been improved on the S2 over the years...maybe they could update all the cheap bits too smile

Any thoughts anyone?

most Elise/Lotus specialists are used to doing this ...in fact some of them do it as part of the service routine....

theres a long list on www.seloc.org

where are you based? im sure there will be plenty of recommendations

...you can of course buy a new fastener kit from Elise Parts and spend a weekend on it yourself, and save £50ph labour (or more) wink

that's actually pretty tempting...just need to get a copy of a workshop manual..... (and assume having ramps would make life rather easier)

If you do go this route get yourself a pot of duralac as well. I'm 90% SS fixing now but it's been a long haul!
